Chapter 86: The World's First Buddha?

Chu Xuan looked at Mo Tuo, who was begging for mercy, unmoved.

After this period of erosion, one-third of Mo Tuo's devil soul had been transformed into a Buddha soul.

The Buddha soul exuded a dignified golden light.

He looked like an eminent monk who had attained the Dao.

Converting a devil expert into a Buddhist… Just thinking about it gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Looking at Mo Tuo, who was half-demon and half-buddha, Chu Xuan started having some new ideas.

What if he turned the demon race into a Buddhist race?

Just thinking about it made him excited.

This was equivalent to directly controlling a powerful race, or even creating a new race altogether.

From that point on, there would be no demon race in this world, only the Buddhist race?

If he really accomplished this feat, the system's reward would definitely be beyond his wildest imagination.

Still, he had to take things one step at a time. He could not rush things.

After Mo Tuo was converted, he would be able to better understand the situation of the demon race before slowly making plans.

Thinking that he would soon have a devout Buddhist disciple under him, Chu Xuan became extremely excited.

Once Mo Tuo was converted, he would no longer be called Mo Tuo but Buddha.

The first Buddha in this world?

If this world did not have a Buddha, Chu Xuan would be the first Buddha and the True Buddha.

The Devil Buddha would then be the first Buddha to be converted.

In truth, although Chu Xuan was the Buddha, he was not really a Buddha, which was why the Devil Buddha would be the true first Buddha.

Chu Xuan waited for Mo Tuo to become a Buddha. He took out the Myriad Heavenly Mirror and connected it to Ren Changhe again. He wanted to find out if there was a Buddhist sect in the nine zones and fifty regions.

Of course, as an extremely powerful big shot in the myriad realms, everything in the nine zones and fifty regions should be under his control.

As such, Chu Xuan did not ask directly. Instead, he simply recited a few Buddhist scriptures and revealed some information about Buddhism.

Ren Changhe's face was filled with shock and astonishment.

From his reaction, Chu Xuan immediately understood that there were no Buddhas in the nine zones and fifty regions!

Otherwise, it was impossible for Ren Changhe not to recognize the scriptures. Buddhism was quite unique, after all.

Back inside the world-cleansing glazed pagoda, Mo Tuo was still crying and begging for mercy. He felt that he was about to go crazy.

The erosion of the golden light was definitely a problem, but the murmurs were far more terrifying.

The murmurs were filled with a strange power. However, even if the strange power did not exist, no one could stand having murmurs ringing in one's ears all day long.

Had they been ordinary murmurs, he might have been able to seal off his five senses to avoid hearing or sensing the murmurs.

However, the murmurs seemed to be reciting scriptures straight into his soul. There was simply no way to block or eliminate them.

It was simply terrifying!

Chu Xuan suspected that the enlightenment of Buddhism actually depended on the constant nagging and mumbling, which would make people break down before being enlightened.

Who could f*cking stand it? There was a constant buzzing sound in Mo Tuo's ears. In addition, the murmurs directly spoke into his consciousness and soul.

Mo Tuo's cries for mercy were useless. As such, he turned around and started cursing Chu Xuan again, as if he was trying to anger Chu Xuan and get him to kill him off directly.

Those murmurs were too terrifying.

Over time, for some reason, Mo Tuo would occasionally find himself reciting a Buddhist scripture.

It was completely involuntary.

He knew that his thoughts and consciousness were starting to be affected.

Occasionally, he would find himself lowering his head and reciting the mantra, "Amitabha."

It was too terrifying!

…

It had been more than a month since the Nine Swords Mountain's sect master Song Yiming tried to force the Chu family to marry Chu Yun to his son.

After hearing the news, most people threw it to the back of their minds and did not investigate the reason behind it.

Most people thought that Song Yiming had returned empty-handed due to the Great Qin's Empress' interference.

Evil King Palace.

The current Evil King sat on his throne. His expression was dark and gloomy.

Ever since he had been heavily injured by Qin Keyun, his temper had become much more irritable.

The Evil King, who was originally cold and scheming, had become irritable, impulsive, and easily angered after the trend of "Charging into the Evil King's Palace" emerged.

Then, after being defeated by Qin Keyun, his temperament took another turn for the worse.

He sported a dark facial expression, looking as if he had been cuckolded by his sweetheart.

The Evil King's attendants were on edge every day. They did not even dare to take a deep breath, afraid that any movements or slight actions would trigger the Evil King's unhappiness, which would get them killed immediately.

They even had to consider whether they should lead with their left or right foot when entering the door.

Not long ago, there was an unlucky guy who came to report to the Evil King when he was in a bad mood.

In the end, the Evil King had said, "How dare you lead with your left foot into the door first? Die!"

He was then slapped to death.

It was terrible!

Now, if the Evil King was in a bad mood, the servants would not report anything to him for fear of being slapped to death for some made-up reason.

It was all Kun Wu's fault.

The "Charging into the Evil King's Palace" trend that he had created had made the Evil King so angry that his entire temperament had changed.

"Is Chu County really not under the jurisdiction of the Great Qin Dynasty? Is it true that the Qin family has ostracized the Chu family?" The Evil King asked coldly.

"King, this matter is true. There is no trap or conspiracy."

Standing below was Chang Jianfeng, one of the 108 evil warriors of the evil imperial court.

Other than the Evil King himself, the evil imperial court comprised the ten evil commanders, thirty-six evil generals, and one hundred and eight evil warriors.

They represented the top powerhouses of the evil imperial court.

The evil commanders, evil generals, and evil warriors were all ranked based on their strength, and their positions were not fixed. If someone was stronger, then that person could replace the current title holder.

Since the establishment of the evil imperial court, only the Evil King's lineage had never been replaced, and his position had never been shaken. Regardless of whether it was the evil commanders, evil generals, or evil warriors, these had all changed over and over again.

There had been heretic cultivators who had held back until they were powerful enough to display their might by defeating the evil warriors, thus replacing them.

Of course, in order to consolidate their position, every evil commander would train their subordinates, and many of the thirty-six evil generals were formed factions under certain evil commanders.

It was the same for the evil warriors.

Those who were not from the evil commanders' factions all belonged to the Evil King's faction. Anyone without a faction would often be targeted and killed by others.

Only those who belonged to the Evil King's faction did not face such a problem.

Chang Jianfeng was born as a grassroots heretic cultivator. He had endured for many years before finally finding an opportunity to defeat an evil warrior and replacing him.

Those who belonged to the Evil King's faction would not be killed by those from the evil generals or the evil commanders' factions.

Although the Evil King's faction was powerful, there had to be a balance among the evil generals, evil commanders, and evil warriors. Therefore, they were very willing to accept and protect heretic cultivators who had no background and promote them to high positions.

The system of the evil imperial court was rather straightforward and simple.

"How is your strength compared to Song Yiming?"

The Evil King looked at Chang Jianfeng and asked.

"Slightly inferior," Chang Jianfeng answered truthfully.

Song Yiming was the sect master of Nine Swords Mountain, after all. Although they were both at the ninth level of the truth realm, Chang Jianfeng would definitely lose in a real fight against the other party.

The Evil King nodded. He was not surprised to hear this.

Chang Jianfeng was just an evil warrior after all. He was not even an evil general. Naturally, he would not be Song Yiming's match.

Nine Swords Mountain had a very deep foundation. Moreover, the sect master was not the strongest expert in the sect. He was only good at managing the sect, developing the sect, and enforcing the sect's rules.

Of course, as the sect master, his strength could not be that weak either.

Song Yiming was very strong. Out of the thirty-six evil generals, there were less than ten who could defeat him.

"You may leave."

With a wave of his hand, he ordered Chang Jianfeng to leave.

The evil King narrowed his eyes and started to think. Chu County occupied a very important place in the Great Qin Dynasty.

It was almost in the hinterlands of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The Chu family also had an extraordinary relationship with the Qin, Zhao, and He families. If he could control the Chu family, perhaps it would turn out to be more useful than the heretic cult. At the critical moment, he could use the Chu family to stab the Qin family in the back.

"If I personally make a move, even if your Chu family is a dragon's den or tiger's lair, you will still have to bow down to me!"

The Evil King smiled coldly

Chapter 87: The Evil King's Attack

The Evil King secretly left the Evil King's Palace and went to Chu County in the Great Qin Dynasty's territory in person.

With his strength, no one would notice him leaving.

Moreover, the Evil King had a bad temper and liked to kill people. If there was nothing to report, the servants preferred to hide far away and would not dare to trouble the Evil King.

Therefore, after the Evil King told them that he did not want to be disturbed, the servants were overjoyed.

During this period, even if there was an urgent matter, the servants would not dare to disturb the Evil King. They would instead hand the matter over to the other higher-ups of the evil imperial court to handle.

The higher-ups of the evil imperial court were aware of the Evil King's bad temper. Therefore, they could understand the servants' behavior.

Given the Evil King's strength, as long as he did not encounter Qin Keyun, no one would be able to defeat him.

Furthermore, in order to successfully complete his plan, and to prevent his plans for the Chu family from being uncovered, the Evil King disguised himself and avoided crowded and public places.

Furthermore, he only moved at night.

The reason why he was being so cautious was so that he could avoid the detection of the Black Moon Tower's intelligence network.

He knew very well that the Black Moon Tower was constantly paying attention to him. They wanted to sell information regarding his whereabouts and plans to others for a high price.

Of course, the Black Moon Tower did not only pay attention to the Evil King. Their list of high-priority tracking targets included the Great Qian Dynasty's ruler, the Great Qin Empress, and many other characters of note.

Everyone's priority was equal and balanced. With the Black Moon Tower's attention split, the Evil King's heart was much more calm.

The various faction leaders in the Southern Region and famous experts were all on the Black Moon Tower's watchlist.

Hence, the most important thing for anyone who wanted to do something secretly was to avoid the Black Moon Tower's spies.

If they discovered the Black Moon Tower's spies, when necessary, they would kill them off immediately to avoid exposing their whereabouts.

Although the Black Moon Tower was powerful, these were only spies. If the spies were discovered, they could kill them.

This was within the rules of the cultivation world. The Black Moon Tower did not dare to offend the masses over the deaths of their spies.

No matter how powerful the Black Moon Tower was, once they offended the masses, they would not be able to withstand the backlash.

After all, the Black Moon Tower did play by the rules, so if their intelligence personnel were exposed and killed by the experts they were monitoring, they had no choice but to accept it.

Although the Black Moon Tower's intelligence gathering capability was extremely powerful, it was not omnipotent. It was not capable of getting its hands on every piece of intelligence out there.

If an expert truly wanted to hide their tracks, it would not be easy to investigate their movements.

The Evil King moved forward and soon arrived at the Purple Moon County.

He was not far from Chu County now.

He did not make any moves along the way to avoid any possible exposing himself.

After arriving at Chu County, the Evil King did not head to the Chu family's territory immediately.

Instead, he collected information about the Chu family, especially investigating if there were hidden experts or if there was a possibility of an ambush.

Even though the Evil King was very confident in his own strength, he still needed to be cautious.

He was not invincible in the Southern Region.

The Great Qin Empress was not someone he could deal with.

After a few days of investigation, he confirmed that there was no possibility of an ambush in Chu County, and that there were no hidden experts.

There were not even any unity realm experts in the Chu family's territory.

The Chu family seemed to have become withdrawn and had entered a dormant period, seemingly very low-key.

Compared to their arrogance when they were annihilating the heretic cult, the current Chu family was unsettlingly quiet and seemed to be doing their best not to attract any attention.

The Evil King felt that it probably had something to do with the Chu family being excluded from the core of the Great Qin Dynasty's affairs.

"Since the Great Qin Dynasty has ostracized your Chu family, then you should come and join my evil imperial court."

The Evil King smiled coldly.

As night fell, the Evil King set off toward the Chu family's territory.

He had personally come this time to secretly take control of the Chu family. Moving at night made it easier for him to conceal his actions.

The Chu family was a very important piece. Once he successfully took control of them, it would be the same as planting a hidden piece in the Great Qin Dynasty. If he was successful, he would be able to backstab the Great Qin Dynasty at any time.

…

Ding Yue and Su Xian'er were both cultivating diligently inside the universe space.

Ding Yue's sword intent had grown especially strong, and the image of his childhood sweetheart in his heart had already become very blurry.

It would not be long before he completely forgot his childhood sweetheart.

He would no longer think about her and would no longer be distracted by her. He could wholeheartedly devote himself to the cultivation of the way of the sword.

As the thoughts of missing his childhood sweetheart grew fainter and fainter, Ding Yue found that his focus on the way of the sword was also becoming stronger and stronger.

He increasingly felt that his master's teachings were correct. If he wanted to cultivate the Supreme Sword, he had to truly forget about his sweetheart.

While he was trying his best to break through the first stage of the way of the sword, Ding Yue had also made preparations to break through the second stage as well.

He carved a wooden figure and placed it where Su Xian'er was cultivating. Every now and then, he would look over.

When was the first person he paid attention to not Su Xian'er, but the wooden figure, it would mean that he had made progress in the second stage of the way of the sword.

Su Xian'er's facial expression was dark the entire time. Ding Yue, this rascal, was determined to be a single dog.

Was he using her to temper his state of mind to break through the second stage of the way of the sword? Since that was the case, then she could not be blamed for being ruthless.

Su Xian'er held a long whip and flung it, wrapping Ding Yue up. She directly threw him high into the air and gave him a fierce beating.

I'll give you a beating every day. I'd like to see if you'll end up staring warily at me first, or to look at the wooden figure first.

Ding Yue sadly realized that, after getting beaten up, he had become wary of Su Xian'er and was angry at her at the same time.

Every time he looked at Su Xian'er, he would subconsciously look at Su Xian'er. Only after that did he realize that he wanted to look at the wooden figure first.

The second stage was too difficult. Every time he was distracted, he would be disturbed by external things.

However, Ding Yue was not discouraged. Instead, he became even more determined.

Every day, Chu Xuan would use the Myriad Heavenly Mirror to connect to a random place, occasionally deceiving the people he met.

However, he did not encounter any experts, therefore his hopes of deceiving another expert fell through.

When night fell, Chu Xuan yawned and was about to go back to his room to sleep.

With his strength, he actually did not need to sleep. However, he was already used to it. He would look at the spirit cultivating diagram to cultivate the power of his divine soul before slowly falling asleep.

This was part of his daily life.

Suddenly, a figure quietly appeared outside the Chu family's territory.

A half-step Emperor realm expert!

It was a half-step Emperor realm powerhouse. Although the intruder was much weaker than Qin Keyun, he was much stronger than Song Yiming.

He had almost touched the threshold of the Emperor realm.

If the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region were restored, the other party would have a chance of breaking through to the Emperor realm.

A half-step Emperor realm powerhouse was already considered one of the foremost experts in the Southern Region. Why did this person come to the Chu family's territory?

What did he want to do?

Moreover, there was an evil power hidden inside the body of the person who came. He was undoubtedly a heretic cultivator.

A heretic cultivator who was a half-step Emperor realm expert…

An absurd thought appeared in Chu Xuan's mind. Could this guy be the Evil King of the evil imperial court?

Was he here to deal with the Chu family personally?

However, from his current actions, it seemed that he did not intend to kick up a big fuss here. It seemed that he did not want to destroy the Chu family, but instead had other plans for them.

Given the Evil King's strength, even if he did kick up a big fuss here, he would still be able to safely escape back to the evil imperial court.

After all, in the entirety of the Great Qin Dynasty, besides Qin Keyun, no one was his match.

In addition, Qin Keyun was too far away from Chu County.

By the time she received news of his presence here, he would have long fled.

Therefore, seeing that the Evil King was behaving so carefully and suspiciously, there had to be other motives behind his visit. The truth of the matter was, he wanted to secretly control the Chu family.

Chapter 88: The Frightened Evil King

When the Evil King entered the Chu family's territory and saw that the guards of the Chu family were all at the profound realm, he felt that he had been overly cautious.

How could a mere Chu family stand up to an Evil King like him?

So what if there was an ambush? Who would be able to stop him?

If Qin Keyun, the empress, personally made a move, he would be no match for her. Still, if he wanted to escape, the other party would not be able to stop him.

With this thought in mind, the Evil King stopped hiding himself. Instead, he swaggered out.

He headed in the straight toward the Chu family's ancestral residence.

Although he was no longer overly cautious, the Evil King did not want to be exposed in advance. After all, if others knew that the Evil King had visited the Chu family, but the Chu family had emerged unharmed, people would know that there was something wrong with the Chu family.

As such, even though the Evil King was swaggering forward, the guards still did not notice him.

There was a small courtyard in front of him.

The Evil King only took a brief glance at it before ignoring it. He planned to continue moving forward.

However, his body moved, and the scene before his eyes changed.

He suddenly appeared inside a small courtyard.

There was a handsome young man in front of him who was sitting leisurely on a reclining chair.

Beside the young man was a beautiful woman dressed as a servant who was elegantly making tea.

Gulp!

The Evil King swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He felt his scalp go numb and his muscles instantly tensed up.

At this moment, he was extremely nervous!

Just a moment ago, he had been outside the courtyard preparing to go to the Chu family's ancestral residence to control the family head and thereby secretly control the entire Chu family.

However, he had suddenly appeared inside this courtyard in the blink of an eye.

The crux of the matter was that he did not even know how he ended up inside the courtyard.

The Chu family was extremely terrifying!

At this moment, cold sweat ran down the Evil King's back and he felt extremely regretful. Why did he decide to take control of the Chu family?

It was all that damn Kun Wu's fault!

That's right, it was him who had messed up his mood and caused him to become impatient and irritable. That was why he hot-headedly ran over to the Chu family.

Looking at the young man on the reclining chair, the Evil King's body tensed up and he stood ramrod straight.

Who was he?

Was he Chu Qiuluo?

The Evil King remembered the name of the outstanding talent of the Chu family who had once dominated the Qin Kingdom and became famous throughout the Southern Region.

On second thought, the Evil King felt that something was amiss.

Chu Qiuluo was indeed talented, but how old was he? How could he be so powerful?

No matter how monstrous he was, he would at best have reached the half-step Emperor realm.

Besides, did Chu Qiuluo and his wife not go missing?

Were they not only at the peak of the void realm before they went missing?

Given the Great Qian Dynasty's way of doing things, Chu Qiuluo would have had to go to the Great Qian Dynasty if he wanted to break through to the unity realm.

Therefore, the person in front of him was definitely not Chu Qiuluo.

He looked young, but was he actually an old monster?

The Evil King was a little flustered.

Escape?

He immediately dispelled this thought. The other party had silently moved him, a half-step Emperor realm, into the courtyard.

No matter what, he would not be able to escape from the other party's palm.

Chu Xuan yawned. He glanced at the frightened Evil King and said, "Evil King?"

The Evil King's body trembled.

'What should I do? Should I beg for mercy?'

'I'm the Evil King. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing for him to beg for mercy?'

Then again, it was not really embarrassing to beg for mercy from an old monster.

In an instant, the Evil King's thoughts changed rapidly. He bowed and said, "Yes, yes, I pay my respects to Senior!"

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to pay a visit to the head of the Chu family," The Evil King hurriedly lied.

Chu Xuan rolled his eyes. The Great Evil King of the evil imperial court secretly came to visit that old man Chu Tianming in the middle of the night?

Who was he trying to fool?

"Hmph!"

Chu Xuan only coldly harrumphed.

The Evil King was so frightened that his body trembled, and he hurriedly said, "This Junior did not know his place and wanted to control the Chu family. Please spare my life, Senior!"

His dignity was important, but not as important as his life.

After all, he had already been humiliated again and again, making him the most undignified of all the evil kings in history.

As such, he did not mind losing a little bit more dignity.

The Evil King consoled himself.

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes and thought for a while before asking, "Do you know about the Great Qin Emperor?"

The evil imperial court had existed for a long time, perhaps even before the great war with the demons.

However, it had only truly risen to prominence after the great war.

Even the Great Qian Dynasty could not suppress its rise, and was instead suppressed by it. From this, one could tell how extraordinary the evil imperial court was.

As the current Evil King and one of the top experts in the Southern Region, he definitely knew a lot of secrets.

The Evil King was startled. He did not know why the other party asked this question.

"I don't know much."

"Tell me what you know."

"Yes, yes."

The Evil King nodded and sorted out his thoughts before saying, "I once read in an ancient book that the Great Qin Emperor unified the Southern Region and established the Great Qin Empire, which was the largest empire in the Northern Zone…"

Chu Xuan was surprised. He had thought that the Evil King would know more, but the other party did not seem to know much. The Evil King only knew that the Great Qin Emperor had unified the Southern Region, and had founded the largest empire in the Northern Zone.

After all, the other regions in the Northern Zone had not been unified yet, so now that the Southern Region had been unified, the Great Qin Empire naturally became the largest empire in the Northern Zone.

Since he could not get too much information about the Great Qin Emperor, Chu Xuan changed his focus, "How much do you know about the Asura Ancient Land?"

"Not much."

The Evil King panicked. He did not know much about these ancient secrets.

What if the other party felt that he was worthless and slapped him to death?

"Speak."

"Yes, yes."

Cold sweat dripped down the Evil King's forehead. He did not dare to raise his hand to wipe it away and maintained his bowed posture, not even daring to take a deep breath.

"Rumor has it that the Asura Ancient Land was the battlefield where the demon race invaded the Southern Region and started a war."

"Because those who participated in the war were all Heaven realm experts, the battle became so intense that the ley lines of the Southern Region collapsed, thereby damaging the laws of Heaven and Earth. There is also news that the Asura Ancient Land will open in twenty to thirty years."

After saying that, the Evil King glanced at Chu Xuan nervously.

"What other experts does the evil imperial court have?"

Chu Xuan pondered. Which expert had founded the evil imperial court?

Currently, the top forces in the Southern Region all had backers behind them. They either had the support of other forces, or they had prepared a scheme for the Asura Ancient Land.

Some of them were the branches of major forces that had left the Southern Region to rebuild their factions.

"Apart from me, there's also my uncle. However, he's always in closed-door cultivation."

The Evil King hesitated for a moment but, in the end, he chose to answer honestly.

Given the other party's terrifying strength, if he really wanted to destroy the evil imperial court, they would not be able to even mount a resistance. As such, he might as well answer honestly.

Whether he lived or died depended completely on luck.

Chu Xuan understood. His uncle was the previous evil king, and the strongest expert of the evil imperial court.

There were even rumors circulating in the outside world that he had successfully broken through to the Emperor realm through some kind of secret technique.

After asking all those questions, Chu Xuan waved his hand, and a stream of energy entered the Evil King's body.

At the same time, he planted a soul seal on the Evil king.

Controlling the Evil King of the evil imperial court could come in handy some time.

"Go back and reorganize the evil imperial court."

Chu Xuan waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, my Lord," The Evil King said respectfully.

He was panicking inside. Had he been controlled just like that?

What was even sadder was that he had still retained his mental clarity and consciousness, but was unable to resist Chu Xuan's will.

Moreover, he was actually filled with respect and reverence toward this old monster before him. He was completely unable to muster even the slightest thought of opposing him.

The Evil King would much rather have lost his self-consciousness than have a clear mind. He was deeply aware that he was being controlled, yet was unable to resist. He was being constantly tormented by this contradiction.

Chapter 89: Someone Come Quickly! The Evil King Has Gone Mad!

The Evil King left.

Before that, Chu Xuan threw him a communication jade talisman so that he could keep in contact.

At the same time, he asked the Evil King to tidy up the evil imperial court after he went back.

As for how that would be done, the Evil King naturally had his own ideas.

Chu Xuan had planted his own energy along with the soul seed seal inside the Evil King's body. If the old evil king came out of seclusion, the energy would be immediately activated, which would suppress the old evil king and plant the seed soul seal inside the latter.

He did not force the Evil King to deceive the old evil king. There was no need for that.

He would just leave it to fate.

The Evil King had not even reached the Emperor realm, so he did not deserve Chu Xuan's attention.

He had just controlled the Evil King on a whim. Perhaps this chess piece would become useful when the Asura Ancient Land opened.

After the Evil King left the Chu family's territory, he finally let out a sigh of relief. His life was saved.

However, from now on, the Evil King had become someone else's servant.

It was all Chang Jianfeng's fault!

Their intelligence gathering had failed miserably!

He had gone to the Chu family's territory in person and almost lost his life.

The evil imperial court was too weak, and all the heretic cultivator b*stards were angry at him.

After he returned, he would definitely deal with them ruthlessly.

The Evil King then successfully returned to the evil imperial court.

Upon returning to the evil imperial court, he saw that someone was barging into his palace again. He almost exploded with anger.

If it had not been for these b*stards, who would always barge into his palace and ruthlessly challenge his dignity, causing him to become irritable, he would not have fallen into the hands of the tiny Chu family.

With that thought in mind, the Evil King looked at the surrounding heretic cultivators and felt that these people were extremely detestable.

They deserved to be killed!

The tidying up of the evil imperial court would start with these b*stards.

At this moment, outside the Evil King's Palace, many heretic cultivators were watching.

As the number of people barging into the Evil King's Palace increased, it no longer caused such a big commotion. The guards of the Evil King's Palace had also become numb to it.

Now, when they saw someone barging into the Evil King's Palace, they only chased after them as a symbolic gesture. They did not have any intention of killing them.

The people who barged into the evil King Palace were also tactful. They exchanged a few blows with the guards and then left after barging past the gate and taking a turn.

There was a tacit understanding between them.

Barging into the Evil King's Palace was no longer a matter of certain death.

Now, breaking into the Evil King's palace had become a must-do activity for heretic cultivators who had just arrived at the capital of the evil imperial court.

If they came to the capital and did not barge into the Evil King's Palace, they would be embarrassed to admit that they had gone to the capital. They would be ridiculed as cowards.

As for the dignity and reputation of the Evil King, not many people cared about it now.

This was also the main reason why the Evil King was angry. He was now known as the evil king with the least dignity of all the past evil kings.

He had personally killed several heretic cultivators, but not only had he failed to intimidate the heretic cultivators, but the ones who had been killed had instead been regarded as glorious martyrs.

It was as if barging into the Evil King's palace and successfully attracting the Evil King to personally attack was a glorious death.

This was also the reason why the Evil King had stopped attacking.

At this moment, the Evil King had returned to the capital from the outside. He looked at the heretic cultivators who were bravely barging into his palace, as well as at the crowd of onlookers.

For the first time, he understood that the reason why there were so many people charging into the Evil King's Palace one after another was all because of the adulation of the onlookers.

They all deserved to die!

At this moment, the Evil King's killing intent surged.

The evil imperial court was in a mess. It was time to clean everything up.

How could he make this like a proper empire?

He had never thought that an empire formed by heretic cultivators would definitely not be a proper empire.

Chu Xuan had asked him to clean up the evil imperial court. This was an absolute command. The Evil King watched the heretic cultivators barge into his palace and found where he would start his clean up.

"Do you think the Evil King will personally make a move this time?"

"How is that possible? The ones who came to break into the Evil King Palace this time have only reached the void realm. How could they provoke the Evil King into making a move?"

"That's right. If the Evil King makes a move now, it would be too undignified. Even if they die, it would have been worth it. After all, it is glorious for a mere void realm expert to die at the hands of the Evil King."

The onlookers discussed things among themselves.

The Evil King's anger kept rising.

Dignified?

How the f*ck would I still have dignity?

I have to restore my dignity.

"Go to hell."

The Evil King looked at the guards who were pretending to fight against the intruders. He could no longer contain his anger.

He had to start a massacre today!

Boom!

A blood-red palm suddenly reached out and grabbed both sides.

The powerful aura scared all the heretic cultivators so much that their expressions drastically changed.

The Evil King made a move!

"What's going on? The Evil King made a move?"

A small group of people in the crowd felt that something was wrong and quickly left quietly.

The blood-red palm clenched and crushed both sides to death.

The onlookers' expressions changed when they saw the Evil King crushing the guards to death.

However, they did not pay too much attention to it.

After all, the guards had been too perfunctory in performing their duties, so it was normal for the Evil King to be angry at them.

The Evil King's figure appeared at the entrance of the Evil King's Palace and scanned the crowd.

"Greetings to the Evil King!"

The onlookers had no idea that a disaster was coming.

Seeing the Evil King appear, they all bowed and greeted him.

After all, he was the Evil King and the current leader of the evil imperial court. They had to give him the respect he deserved.

However, they felt that this evil king was the most undignified one in history.

"Do you still see me as the Evil King?"

The Evil King sneered and suddenly roared, "You all deserve to die!"

Boom!

The aura of a half-step Emperor realm expert erupted.

He raised his hand and slapped it toward the crowd.

Boom!

More than ten heretic cultivators died in an instant.

The others became terrified and tried to run away, but the Evil King was so angry that there was no way that he would let them.

His false domain was activated at this moment, and a blood-red long saber appeared in his hand.

Whoosh!

A blood-red saber light swept out and killed dozens of people in an instant.

The false domain of the Evil King was very weak in comparison to actual Emperor realm experts.

It was also much weaker than Qin Keyun's false domain.

However, it was very easy for him to use it to suppress those in the truth realm and below.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Everyone panicked.

"Have you finally realized that I'm your king now?"

The Evil King's eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty light.

The blood-colored saber slashed out again and again, killing the onlookers.

Faced with a life-and-death crisis, no one would sit around and wait for death. Everyone started to fight back.

The trend of barging into the Evil King's Palace had been ongoing for so long, so there were not many experts among the onlookers now.

There were only a few truth realm experts present, and less than 10% of them had reached the unity realm. Most of them were void realm cultivators and below.

Among them, those in the profound realm and the spirit realm were the most numerous.

How could they resist the Evil King's attacks?

In just a short moment, one-third of them had been killed.

The Evil King's outburst naturally shook the capital.

Many experts from various factions rushed over in a hurry. After all, there were some of their factions in the crowd, and there were even some direct descendants of the experts present there.

"Your Majesty, please show mercy!"

"Go to hell!"

The Evil King directly slashed out with his saber, killing that expert on the spot.

The expressions of the other experts that had rushed over immediately changed. Had the Evil King gone mad?

"Someone come quickly! The Evil King has gone mad!"

Countless experts from large factions, including the evil commanders, evil generals, and evil warriors, rushed over in a hurry. They had to stop the Evil King from continuing his massacre.

One had to know that the heretic cultivators in the capital were all elites. If too many of them were killed, it would affect the overall strength of the evil imperial court.

They might even end up being suppressed by the Great Qian Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, you can't continue killing."

An evil commander rushed over to stop him.

Chapter 90: Little Evil King, Old Evil King

"Go to hell!"

The Evil King directly slashed out with his blade.

'B*stard, there have been people who repeatedly challenged this king's dignity, but you didn't come out to kill them, yet you actively came out to persuade me when I did?'

This travesty must be properly rectified!

The evil commander's expression changed drastically.

F*ck!

Had the Evil King really gone crazy?

He hurriedly blocked the attack.

As an evil commander, his cultivation had to be at the peak of the truth realm. There was no way that he could become one of the top experts of the evil imperial court otherwise.

Although the Evil King was powerful, it was still impossible for him to kill the evil commander in one move.

Boom!

The battle became even more intense.

"Your Majesty, please stop. We can't continue fighting like this."

One after another, the evil commanders, the evil generals, and the evil warriors rushed over and joined hands to resist the Evil King's crazy attacks.

Everyone felt as if they had eaten a fly.

Why did the Evil King suddenly go crazy?

"Are you all rebelling?"

The Evil King became more and more furious, and his attacks became more and more ferocious.

The experts of the evil imperial court all turned pale and tried their best to resist the Evil King's attacks.

If this matter continued to develop, would the capital still be needed?

More evil warriors rushed over from afar. Seeing this situation, they hurriedly ran into the Evil King's Palace and asked the experts from the Evil King's lineage to persuade the Evil King.

If this battle continued, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The death of an evil warrior, an evil general, or even an evil commander, or even if they were seriously injured, would affect the overall strength of the evil imperial court.

The experts from the Evil King's lineage also hurried over to persuade him.

However, the Evil King became even angrier.

He felt that his dignity as the evil king had been completely decimated. These b*stards even dared to attack him.

The experts' expressions turned ugly. They could only join hands to block the Evil King's attacks and temporarily restrain him.

The Evil King was enraged. His half-step Emperor realm cultivation was displayed in its entirety. Everyone became very serious. He was too strong. If they were careless, even if there were so many experts joining hands, they could still be killed or injured.

In the eastern courtyard of the Evil King's Palace.

A pale-faced young man with a demonic aura was sitting in the pavilion, humming a tune.

A figure flew over.

"Your Highness, please go and persuade His Majesty!"

The little evil king glanced at the person.

This was one of the evil warriors of the imperial court who belonged to the Evil King's lineage.

"Why are you looking for me? Go and find someone who can suppress my father."

The evil warrior was helpless, so he could only join forces with the powerful warriors of the Evil King's lineage to ask the old evil king to come out of seclusion.

The little evil king sighed and looked at the battle taking place outside the palace. He muttered, "I told you. It's easy to have problems with your brain when you cultivate evil techniques. Look, there's a problem now."

"Fortunately, I don't cultivate evil techniques."

The little evil king felt that it was fortunate that he had made the right decision back then. If he cultivated evil techniques too, he might have problems with his brain one day.

"Someone, come here."

A figure dressed in black appeared in front of him.

"Your Highness."

"It's time to feed the fish."

"Yes."

Not long after, a woman of sixteen or seventeen years old appeared in the hands of the man dressed in black.

The woman's face was pale and her entire body was trembling.

The little evil king stood up and grabbed the woman by the neck, lifting her up. He walked over to the side of the pavilion and looked at the fish pond below.

There were blood-red silhouettes swimming in the fish pond. Blood-red strange fish with fangs appeared on the surface of the water, revealing their snow-white teeth.

Rip!

The little evil king tore off one of the woman's arms. Fresh blood gushed out and splashed into the fish pond. The arm was also thrown into the water.

Splash!

The blood-red strange fish crazily snapped up the food.

The woman who was held in his hand by the neck let out a mournful howl as she continuously twisted her body.

The little evil king displayed an expression of enjoyment on his face as he tore the limbs off the woman and threw her flesh into the water to feed the fish. At the same time, he watched the battle taking place outside the palace.

"Sigh, what kind of evil technique are you practicing? Your brain has already been damaged from practicing it. You keep going crazy every now and then!"

The black-clothed man's entire body tensed up. He had experienced the fish feeding scene countless times, but he still felt a chill in his heart every single time.

After hearing the little evil king's words, he only had one thought in his mind. The little evil king's brain was truly broken!

In terms of evilness, who could compare to the little evil king?

In the evil imperial court, there was probably no one more ruthless, more evil, and more perverse than him.

He had torn a living person into pieces and fed her to the fishes. Moreover, that person would not faint and would remain conscious the entire time.

Their miserable howls were like beautiful melodies to the little evil king's ears.

"I can't stay in the capital any longer."

The little evil king threw the rest of the corpse into the pond and led the black-clothed person out of the palace.

In the depths of the Evil King's Palace, a group of people were kneeling in front of an underground palace.

The underground palace was where the old evil king was in seclusion.

After a long while, an old and majestic voice could be heard from the underground palace.

"What's the matter?"

"The Evil King has gone mad and is slaughtering experts!"

The old man in the front said helplessly.

He was from the Evil King's lineage and was the Evil King's uncle.

"Hmm?"

Boom!

The underground palace's door opened.

A tall and sturdy figure walked out.

A fierce aura surged forth, frightening the kneeling people and forcing them to retreat.

The old evil king had come out of seclusion!

The old evil king raised his head to look at the battle outside the palace.

"This is getting more and more outrageous!"

The old evil king was furious.

He had devoted his life to cultivation, but the laws of heaven and earth were damaged in the Southern Region, so he could not break through to the Emperor realm.

He wanted to leave the Southern Region, but he had been stopped, so he had no choice but to go into seclusion to try to break through with a secret technique.

He had no children, so he passed the position of evil king to his nephew.

He had not expected such a ridiculous thing to happen not long after he went into seclusion.

He moved and appeared outside the palace.

"Stop!" The old evil king shouted angrily.

Everyone stopped. The Evil King's expression changed drastically. He had not expected the old evil king to come out of seclusion.

One had to know that there was a power hidden in his body that was meant to control the old evil king.

Chu Xuan did not ask him to control the old evil king, so the Evil King naturally would not try to harm his uncle.

However, he did not expect the old evil king to actually come out of seclusion.

The evil king's body trembled, and a stream of power appeared, directly pressing down on the old evil king.

This stream of power was silent and soundless. Other than the Evil King himself, no one else noticed it.

Even the old evil king only noticed it the moment the power descended. It was already too late for him to resist.

Moreover, with his strength, there was no way he could resist.

In an instant, a soul seed seal was planted into his soul.

Chu Xuan did not exert his will on this soul seed seal.

The Evil King looked at the old evil king, and the old evil king looked at the Evil King. The uncle and nephew pair remained silent for a while.

"Why did you kill the powerhouses of the evil imperial court?"

The old evil king asked in a deep voice.

"I want to clean up the evil imperial court!" The Evil King said with a solemn expression.

The Old Evil King was silent for a while. He then moved and returned to the underground palace where he had been in seclusion.

His voice could be heard from afar, "Then clean it up well."

"Thank you for your support, Uncle!"

The Evil King bowed and said.

The evil commanders, evil generals, and evil warriors all had a bad feeling.

He wanted to clean up the evil imperial court?

How?

Moreover, even the old evil king supported it. Who could stop the Evil King now?

The higher-ups of the evil imperial court looked at each other. They had a feeling that the days ahead would be difficult.
